gadian:NeoCortex42: What did it for me was her treatment of Data. When I was a kid watching TNG during its initial run, Data was by far my favorite character. The way she talked down to him and treated him like equipment was infuriating.

That was me too. She was just so MEAN. To everyone, really.

It's not so much the "mean" for me is that she is just so openly condescending to everybody, everybody, and had absolutely nothing to show for it. The one time I can think of when she actually had to do something, she bungled it and had to have someone else save her ass.

gunga galunga:Didn't Lucas work it into Star Wars canon that Boba Fett blasted his way out of the Sarlaac and survived?

It was in one of the Dark Empire comics. Han goes back to his old apartment on Corellia (or maybe Nar Shadda) and Fett is there waiting for him. He says something about how no one ever escaped because they tried to go out they way they came in, and he had the brilliant idea of making a new exit.

I don't know if that would actually count. True, the Fonz was initially a minor character, but quickly became the star of the show.

Isn't that pretty much exactly what the headline is describing? I think The Fonz should be #1.

CSB: ABC did not want Fonzie to be perceived as a thug and initially forbade him from wearing a leather jacket,but Garry Marshall eventually wrung a concession out of them that he could wear the jacket if he was riding hismotorcycle. He would wear sweaters or sweatshirts any other time.

Marshall them proceeded to make sure that for the first season of the show the character was always shown onon near his motorcycle, which in turn built up the character's mystique and appeal and made sure he became acultural icon of the 1970s.

Tax Boy:Originally a minor recurring Agent, Clinton Jones has been one of the more stable characters on USA's White Collar, gradually getting more character development and screen time. Sharif Atkins was added to the main cast for season four.

Not on the show enough

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!Son...I have never seen this White Collar show, but you need to tell me who the HELL that is right now, please. I'm not even gonna add a "for science" bit. I just need to know who this person is so that I can print an uncomfortable number of pictures of her out and paste them around my work space.

Extra bonus: has a Manchester accent, only plays american

To you and WhoIsWillo, my deepest thanks. My god, the Manchester accent just makes her...my god.

ontariolightning:Karac: I eagery await the return of Agent Coulson. No one permanently dies in comics, why should the movies be any different.

Coulson was a dick in Thor

Well, he'd literally just come from babysitting Stark and you can imagine he wasn't in a great mood. Remember, Thor and Iron Man 2 take place at basically the same time, aka Nick Fury's Busy (Big) Week.

People need to stop bringing up venture bros in any way shape or form. I CANT WAIT ALMOST ANOTHER WHOLE YEAR!

/sob

Yeah. Disney can crank out multiple shows with 25 episode seasons and then just keep cranking them out. Sure, they are not the same quality as VB, but they seem pretty decent for kid shows. You would think that the VB crew would have made enough cash so far that they could speed things up.

Most modern animation is done in flash, VB is still done traditionally.

So much this. The movie tracks the play almost to the letter, but his character was written in as a 5-ish minute bit. His character totally did not match up with the tone of the entire move... but his quick burst did help set the progress of the plot as it goes slowly nowhere but down.

/my favorite movie of all time

Oddly enough I received an email today from corporate sales asking for Glengarry leads, because those "gold" leads are the leads they give to closers.. with accompanying youtube links to spice up the email

Lernaeus:Technically, he's still alive at the end, since he would have just begun the thousand year digestion cycle of the average Sarlacc.

/yes, I'm a nerd

According to the Dark Empire sourcebook (West End Games D6 Star Wars RPG) the it wasn't so much that you were slowly digested, as you'd die from thirst/hunger long before that, it's that the Sarlacc lacked the digestive enzymes required to use the stuff that fell in its gullet as food, so it actually took control of you and used your own digestive system to break down your body for it to eat.

That's classic. I always add subtle GG/GR references in emails when we're talking sales. Which can be challenging when every reference generally has the word "fark" in it at least once.
